Just want to chime in that one can use a static site generator without upgrading it. Or upgrading it infrequently.
I’m currently on Hugo 0.80.0 and who knows, it might take years before I upgrade it.

That makes sense to me. No dis on static site generators, it just so happens that those were the lessons I learned while trying them out.

Could you tell me more about this? I've had a similar idea but the HTML that LibreOffice generates is very gross

It's a simple injection controller for adding links and markup. Very rough. It doesn't do much about the existing HTML, which I felt was mostly workable, or workaround-able. :-) You can see some output here:
Since that time I look for the people and community behind the project, and try to find signs of stability and long-term care. After that I look at open formats rather than open and flexible architecture-chains. For example, I'd rather use my LibreOffice HTML template and simple PHP controller on a more monolithic (but open) platform than connect a bunch of technologies together to create a build process with a bunch of moving, quickly developing, interdependent parts.
Not sure it's the best answer, but it has worked better to use more monolithic software, even blogging software that's been in steady, if slow development since the early 2000s...
